Literally just ran into this problem 15 mins ago.
Went to the HTTP RFC 9110 to check on the proper meaning of a HTTP response [0]. The list of sections on the right is scrollable, but there's no indication that it is, and no scroll bar unless you click on it and try to scroll it. The page as it loads on my screen looks like it stops at section 4.2.1. and there's no indication that there are more sections. Took me a few moments to work out how to get to what I needed. Which is bad design, right? If you're confusing the user to make some aesthetic "improvement" then that's bad. I don't even know that removing scroll bars is an aesthetic improvement. Why do this?

- masswerk 3y agoI defence of that web site, I do see a vertical scroll bar for this section. But I'm also one of those funny individuals who check that "Show scrollbars" is set to "always" in the system preferences, after each update. (On macOS, it's not the default, but it's still an option.)
- marcus_holmes 3y agotrue, this might be on me for not specifying that in Firefox
- masswerk 3y agoAt least on macOS, this is a gloabal system setting, which also applies to any web browsers. (I can't speak on the subject of other OSes/GUIs, though.)
